Each of these prices will be reduced by a $1,350 “core credit” for the old battery pack being replaced, which the dealer then recycles through a long-established Toyota program.
I just paid between 4 & 6 THOUSAND dollars for a battery, but WOW I get $1,350 back! It’s almost free. /s
Once these batteries start failing these cars will be worth ZERO and they will become the new Edsel.
It used to be the most expensive thing to replace in your car was an engine or transmission, now it’s the BATTERY!
Thank you. Those batteries are the Achilles’ heel with hybrids. People do not factor in the replacement cost when they talk about the cost of owning those cars. In addition, the environmental impact of all those spent batteries needs to be considered.
That is OEM, there is a secondary market, and rebuilds...
The Ford non-Lithium-ion batteries do great. The video below shows that at 230,000 miles in a taxi, the whole pack was holding 85% of the original charge. Should be good for a while.
